The funding is conditional on whether or not the Wascana Country Club’s bid is approved for the tournament.

Mayor Michael Fougere says hosting the tournament would put Regina on the map.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the Wascana golf course, but also showcase our city, to the country and around the world.”

If Wascana Country Club is selected the City of Regina will provide a $50,000 cash grant and the provision of City services up to $50,000.

Members of Regina City Council have approved a proposal to potentially install up to six new off-leash dog parks in the city.

The approval means three fenced dog parks will eventually be added to new developments in the city’s north, south and east ends.

Staff will also take a look at adding two to three un-fenced off-leash parks as a pilot project.

Councillor Mike O’Donnell says he’s been pushing for these parks for years for several reasons.“Both for the dogs, so they have socialization, but more importantly so the community has places to gather.”Right now the City of Regina only has one year-round off-leash dog park.+++++++++

A motion to adopt recommendations of the TRC will now be due from City Administration by the end of 2016.

Ivy Kennedy is a residential school survivor and says this is step in the right direction.

“We have to educate people and let them know the plight we had as residential school survivors.”

One of the first things the City will look at is commemorating a graveyard on the city’s west end, which holds the remains of aboriginal children who attended the Regina Indian Industrial School, used in the sixties scoop.
